Here’s a hint….Since it is REDNESDAY at It's a Very Cherry World I thought I would share some old and new REDS.(and blues and greens.)28 years ago this happened…See the RED eyes and patches. Then 4 years later, this happened to him…Ahhh, lots of RED. This happened at the same time…And in between, these two happened…I couldn’t find pictures of them in their uniforms but this suits them better anyway and there is RED in this picture.They were faithful SCOUTS…See the “Boys Life” magazine. Josh’s shirt used to be RED. (Note the bottle between the cushions. The youngest “scout” must have been sleeping.)Then… 16 years ago, this happened…RED beads and patches.Now they are all grown and gone with little “scouts” of their own and now it’s my turn.Yup, you guessed it. I am the new WEBELOS leader in our ward and I will be wearing lots of RED…Put it all together and you get this…Not exactly cute. Lets fix it…Ahhhh, much better. It’s been 13 years since I’ve had a Webelo around so now I get to start all over again.Wish me luck.

Ahhh the wearin o’ the GREEN and sharin o’ the RED…Do you ever do weird things to your kid? This poor little guy didn’t have a chance. He was born the last of 7 kids and quite a bit later than all the others so not only did he have to put up with all his older brothers and sisters doing things to him, he had to put up with a mother who now had more time to do “fun” things.20 years ago, GREEN kid with RED spots (chicken pox)Kid wearing RED shorts who got into GREEN paint…(I started dyeing his hands and ears green for St. Patrick’s day when he started pre-school and we did it every year. He was such a cute little elf-like kid that I just couldn’t resist.)Kid with GREEN hands and ears with RED on his bike… GREEN hair with RED eyes….GREEN cub scout with RED badgesGREEN ears, lips, hands, and iguana with RED canoe in garage…Did I mention he has GREEN eyes…Very GREEN kid with RED truck (he did this to himself!)Now look what my kids do to their kids…

A few other GREENS and REDS…..GREEN bunny with RED flowerGREEN chocolate on RED strawberries on GREEN plate…GREEN tree in pot with RED ribbon… And finally… GREEN uniform with RED patches on handsome son with GREEN eyes…Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Go visit SUE to see more REDS and GREENS
